Jose Cuervo x 6 Shore Road

jose-ceurvo-6-shore-road-bathing-suit

Jose Cuervo and 6 Shore Road have partnered to create a limited edition bathing suit inspired by margaritas. And go figure it’s probably the only one piece that fits me since I was in middle school. I’m in love. I’ve been a huge fan of 6 Shore Road by Pooja for some time. They are known for their vibrant kaleidoscope prints and this limited edition suit takes it to the next level. I love the bright pink color scheme and the side cutouts. It’s visual paradise.jose-cuervo-6-shore-road-bathing-suit-miami

Both Jose Cuervo and 6 Shore Road founder/designer Pooja Kharbanda share a love for the beach-to-bar lifestyle so they collaborated on a style that could be worn not just for water but the entire beachside experience. I wore it all over the Hamptons last weekend from the pool, to the town and backyard bbq’s under my white Ella Mose shorts. Speaking of which, the shorts and these Manebi Ibiza Espadrille shoes I’ve been wearing on repeat all summer are both on mega sale on Revolve.

One of my favorite looks from this weekend was this Ella Moss Talada top and skirt (it’s not a dress!) which I got so many compliments on. Part of the fun of being in the Hamptons is getting to dress all fun and in vacation attire. The movement of this two piece exudes my excitement to be out east, shoes off and surrounded in green! I also brought out some new accessories starting with these Soleurs Alice Polarized Sunglasses. I discovered the brand a few weeks ago during this years Blogger Bash and actually won the pair (I never win anything!). I’ve been wearing cheap sunglasses mostly from Perverse whose styles are so fun but the quality is very limited past how fabulously fashionable they look. Switching to a polarized, lightweight pair of sunglasses made everything so crisp. I want them all!

Easy Breezy in Free People

It’s been a hot week! I wore this Free People dress yesterday not even thinking I’d turn it into a style post but was so overwhelmed by the compliments I got on it I thought I’d share the details. Especially since it’s on mega sale and I’m having a major moment for all things off-the-shoulder and dresses that have pockets! It’s on sale from it’s original $98 price tag on Bloomingdale’s website for $49.99 and Macy’s has it in white for $59.99! Also the dress comes in white!!!  I’m thinking I may need a second for all the scorching days to come! I’ve also been rocking my new Soho Backpack from Henri Bendel all week. Now that Charlie is in my arms all the time backpacks are my world!

Crop Top + Flare Pants

I was definitely feeling a bit of a 70s meets 90s vibe this weekend with this H&M crop top and these retro oh so slightly flair pants Ella Moss Layla Flare Leg Pants (on sale!). They were the only pair of pants I packed for my staycation since they are so lightweight and comfortable, and fit me perfectly. There are my first pair of pants from Ella Moss and now I want a million. I also took the weekend to play with the MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour collection and wanted to create an outfit around the deep wine shade, High Drama (swatches and full review with more shades HERE). Most people think dark shades are just for fall and winter but I think it’s always fun to break them out every now and again in summer.

This weekends staycation at the Renaissance Hotel was so relaxing and I figured out my favorite way to take in Times Square — it’s from my rooms balcony. No crowds, and with an impeccable view to just take in and appreciate what all of these tourists come to see, and what most of us New Yorkers take for granted. And then I can close the door when I’ve had enough and enjoy my private oasis of a hotel room that’s so quiet that I feel like I could be anywhere in the world.

Times Square in Ella Moss

The best part and most unexpected about staying at the Renaissance Hotel in Times Square was as soon as we entered our hotel room, there wasn’t a single outdoor noise. So much so that I forget about the endless tourists outside my window and the central air was so cool I was oblivious to the heat wave. That is of course until Charlie needed to be walked and I figured I should take advantage of the shopping, people watching and use all of the above as an excuse to wear all of the cute summer dresses I packed for the weekend.ella-moss-bright-dress

Beach Hair Don’t Care

One of my favorite looks from Miami Swim was this super casual overall look filled I wore with finds I discovered during my press trip with Kyboe! watches. My friend Melissa introducted me to Lolli swim wear and gave me the Sky Top suit which I’m in love with. Anything eyelet I’m into but the black/white combo is so chic. lara-eurdolian-head-shot-lolli-swim-yandy.com

I’m still working on my recap of the weekend (if I get my act together it will be tomorrow) but on Saturday I stopped by the Yandy.com lounge at the W Hotel where I picked up this black coverup and these amazing awear Charmant sunglasses. They are so crisp and probably the lightest pair of sunnies I own. I also visited the beautiful Bollare X Glamour Magazine lounge — which while were on the subject, I’m so excited to announce I’m going to be one of Glamour Magazine Glammy beauty award judges!!!! At the lounge I got a much needed LVX manicure and these amazing white Blank NYC Short Overalls with… wait for it… they monogrammed with @prettyconnected on them and this amazing Abaco Beach Company Life’s a Beach hat. I missed the Teva party since Kyboe! was hosting a fun beach day at the Setai but wore my pair from the Derek Lam collaboration all day since I was expecting to make the event. And because they are one of my favorite beach holiday shoe picks.

KYBOE! Watches makes a Splash at Miami Swim

kyboeIt’s hard to have weekend envy for a trip you were actually on and experienced, but I do. My friend Melissa and I had a blast this past weekend being flown out to Miami for the KYBOE! Miami Swim fashion show and an epic series of events to follow; which laying beach-side at the Setai Hotel and a private dinner cooked by, chef Todd English at the CEO of KYBOE!’s estate, Marc Bell in Boca.furla-pink-bag-miami-swim-kyboe-watchkyboe-rose-gold-watch-miami-swim

I wore a special rose gold watch for the fashion show and traded in my tomboy ways to aim for more of a Miami Barbie aesthetic – which I think I nailed in this never-worn-something-this-tight baller Clover Canyon dress coupled with these Brian Atwood wedges (similar) and bright pink Furla Yoyo Mini Cross Body bag. When in Miami…

We’ve been celebrating Keds 100th year since the new year but today marks the official day that the iconic show brand and ahem the first brand to create a sneaker for women turns 100! Such a major milestone and I’m thrilled for them. Tomorrow, I’m headed to Miami for Swim and just putting on a fresh pair of classic Champion Canvas shoes makes me feel like I’m on vacation. Cheers to many more women’s sneakers Keds!

I hope everyone had a magical long weekend, I know I did. I’m usually out of town for the 4th of July but with all of my recent travel all I wanted was to be home, hanging out in comfortable clothes on the waterfront in Long Island City with my puppy and boyfriend. Funny enough the party came to me since Macy’s takes over my neighborhood for the firework show. It’s pretty amazing that Meghan Trainer and Pitbull were performing at the bottom of my street.

I’m actually wearing all new purchases for this really effortless weekend look. My feet needed a break from regular flip flops. I love them but all of my pairs have no support and with my back issues and how much I walk I’ve had these Vionic Jura Slide Sandal in silver on non-stop repeat! If you look at every Instagram post where I’m full body from the past two weeks I’m wearing these. They saved me while being on the Sinful Colors Pride float for 5 hours! Having arch support is a game changer and I definitely need to build up my orthopedic shoe collection. The shirt dress is from Do + Be, I scored it at Nordstrom Rack over the weekend on clearance for $39.97! I tried to find it online for you guys but had an impossible time on the Do + Be website or searching it online. Which is too bad since I want it in every color. It has side pockets!

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since Wednesday! I know it’s only been a few days but since I got back from Boston all I’ve wanted to do is get my apartment in order and stay local. Every week for over two months I’ve been in a different state, and while it’s all been with amazing brands, it’s taken a toll.

On the up side, while I haven’t had as much time to write I have been playing with some new accessories I’m excited about starting with these Sudio Sweden Vasa Earphones. They only recently started selling in the US so I’m honored to be one of the first to get my hands on a set. I’m going through a perpetual rose gold phase (although they come in other colors too!) and love the simplistic and yet elegant design of them. They also have great sound quality, and come with a chic travel case, which I need, since I’m the queen of tangling everything (you don’t want to look into my jewelry box. They also have a wireless version I have my eye on for when I go running! I’ve been using them non-stop for travel since they are less bulky then my headphones and offer a really crisp, studio quality sound. Plus now that I carry Charlie (my rescue pup) around everywhere with me I’m trying to pack as light as possible. They are offering my readers and exclusive discount of 15% off with code: PrettyConnected.
